Kid intentionally removed the “r” from “Golden Gate Bidge” today, thinking it sounded funny. After an initial “Whudjoocallme?!?” stare, I found it funny too, though not for a kidlike reason.
Now I can’t stop thinking about “The Brooklyn Bidge,” “Bidge Over Troubled Water,” “Bidge Better Have My Money…”
Think that last one’s a trifle harsh? Well, they are expensive to build, in return for the hope of economic prosperity for otherwise disconnected regions.
But that could be a Bidge Too Far…

Bidges of Madison County.
Oh, God... I'll never be able to use another over-water passage again without cackling like a fool.
Ah, the joys of children and their creative misspellings! The "Golden Gate Bidge" sounds like a quirky alternative. And hey, who wouldn't want to travel across "The Brooklyn Bidge"? It has a nice ring to it. As for "Bidge Over Troubled Water," well, that's one sturdy bridge if it can bear both troubles and water!
And yes, building bridges can be quite expensive, so I suppose demanding payment with the phrase "Bidge Better Have My Money" is just a savvy business move. But you're right, maybe it's a tad harsh. Let's hope they accept other forms of currency too! Who knows? Maybe someday we'll have an entire collection of famous bridges with creatively altered names. The possibilities are endless!
